If there’s one thing that can undoubtedly hold a small or medium sized enterprise (SME) back, it’s slow internet speeds. If your team has to suddenly factor a poor connection speed into the working day – whether that’s due to you hiring more staff, adding cloud systems or installing bandwidth-hungry apps – you probably need an upgrade. The new DIA and Palo Alto Networks firewall – a dedicated, managed internet access service from Virgin Media Business (VMB), bundled with a secure managed firewall from Palo Alto Networks – offers a simple solution: a dedicated, ultra-fast fibre connection, built especially for your business needs.

Here are eight reasons why it could be right for your SME…

It’s direct to your office

No more sharing. The service comes not just direct to your kerb, but all the way into your building. Dedicated internet access – also known as a leased line – is your own personal connection, meaning the speed you pay for is the speed your business gets. All this makes slowdowns at peak times a thing of the past.

Speed and symmetry

Ultrafast speeds of up to 1Gbps, accompanied with a Palo Alto Networks Firewall, are available. Uploading is as fast as downloading with this package, too: if five people are video conferencing in different rooms, the rest of your team can share massive files while the backup operates – all without any slowdown or hitches.

Trackable performance

The package’s online reporting tool means you can always see what is happening with your service – so you’ll never get caught out. It also indicates when you need to make changes to support your business’s growth.

Cost effective

The package is simple to flex and change when required – and easy to budget for, with the knowledge of all the fixed costs up front. Not only will you just pay for the bandwidth you need, but with the Gigabit Voucher Scheme, VMB and the UK government will help you save money and future-proof your business, too.

24/7 monitoring and managing

There’s a peace of mind with the SME Security Bundle: while you innovate and concentrate on your day-to-day business, VMB will be monitoring your service round the clock. Its resilient options ensure your organisation is always “on”.

Service availability up to 99.85%

With the DIA and Palo Alto Networks firewall your service is protected – in the unlikely event of an interruption, VMB’s service-level agreement ensures you’ll be provided with compensation.

A network for the future

VMB owns its network and is part of Liberty Global – the world’s largest international TV and broadband company. It’s investing in its network and has embedded security to ensure data protection everywhere.
